It sees that being overweight as glorious reserves encase of starvation.. you have to figure out how to trick it into know it's still being fed the same quantity it's used too.. but at the same time cut down on the things it can store easily.. like Carbs.

Well.. i got my nickname because I figured out, after I hit 180lbs, that if I dropped all sugar from my diet, and ate raw celery, carrots and the like at every meal.. I could get rid of fat.. I dropped 35pounds in just a few months.. I've since put some of it back on since I became a student and quit walking to work... it's harder to avoid fast food when you have a 2 hour commute each way to and from school in addition to 7 hours at school.

I agree with Hale-Bopp. Excercise alone won't do much to reduce weight. I exercised a huge amount and stayed the same weight for a long time. It was only when I got careful control of my diet that I lost weight.
The way I think of it now is that you reduce your calories to lose weight and you increase your excercise to feel good. Just walking a mile or riding a bike for a few miles can give you energy and make you feel a lot better. It won't take weight off, but you will be mentally clearer and you will probably feel a lot happier. Reducing portion size at meals may feel a bit unpleasant at first, but you get used to it after a few days and it really isn't a big deal afterward.
Good luck.

*sigh* So how much do I have to do? Eat nothing but fruits and vegetables, give up meat and everything delicious and one day I'll be thin and finally be worth something as a woman? I'll most likely still be miserable since I wouldn't be allowed sweets or anything yummy. I just don't know how to adapt to this kind of lifestyle. Maybe it's because I live with my grandma who eats a dessert after EVERY MEAL.

Giving up what's delicious is a sacrafice most people have to make.
I don't. I simply eat nothing by raw fruit lean meat legumes and vege as long as I can have a tasty meal to look forward to at the end of the day. I don't know if it works, it might :p

I despaired over eating healthy, and then I discovered a cook book of Indian recipes.. It's amazing how many different ways you can cook lentils and not get sick of them..

It isn't exercise that's going to change your weight. It's your diet.
But surely it'll help, right? It'll burn the calories and then fat too right? If I eat better and exercise, surely I can become beautiful?
It does help but not on it's own.
Exercise increases your hunger. It's a fact. So unless you can control how much you eat it won't make any difference.
Also you may want to consider having a tablespoon of psyllium husks in water with any low fibre meal you have. If you can't keep things moving you're metabolism isn't going to work.
psyllium husks? Does it dissolve in the water? I have actually no idea what that is...I'm good with getting fiber and stuff usually. I figure if I'm going to keep screwing up my diet, I may as well make up for it with exercise.
There's high fibre and HIGH fibre.
I consider any meal that isn't all bran, fruit, vegetables or legumes low fibre.
It doesn't disolve in water, but it's taken in water. It's a gross texture. But it keeps your bowel clean.
The problem with mending a bad diet with exercise is that you may feel like it's worked, and you'll feel more comfortable eating bad food when in reality you're still gaining weight because you aren't burning off anywhere near as much as you think you ought to be.
You have to remember how much energy is in food. A half hour hill walk will burn off a couple of deep fried chips and nothing more.
*sigh* Bulimia and anorexia sounds much easier. >.<
No they are not.
Today I ate 4 small slices of pizza at a uni conferance because my son was feeding me. This is the first I have eaten since Saturday. I still ended up vomiting from this amount of food and I feel really bloated and dehydrated now. Plus I feel twice as fat as usual so i am laying in bed in my fat clothes. You are beautiful erisad. Don't ever wish an eating disorder on yourself.
